           Summary: Hibernate with power button doesn't work when session
                    locked
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Unlisted Binaries
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: philip at philip-seeger.de


Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.6.3) 
OS:                Linux

The power button, which is set to hibernate the system, doesn't do anything
when the session is locked (Ctrl + Alt + L). Works fine otherwise.

I don't know if it's a bug or a feature, but it should be at least possible to
configure the power button to hibernate the system even if the session is
locked. I don't see any security advantage the way it is, because a person
pressing the button could also hold it for a few secs until the system is
brutally shut off and data loss may have occured.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set power button to hibernate system (Power Management).
2. Lock session (Ctrl + Alt + L).
3. Press power button.

Actual Results:  
Nothing

Expected Results:  
Hibernate
